Starting building my King Carve today and the V wheel sets seem to barely spin when I tighten them down. There is a lot of friction just to turn most of them. I did put the washer between the bearings. Is this normal? I feel like I should be able to flick them and they should spin.

Are they hard to turn mounted or just holding them? Maybe bent the Shields in? |

From what I can tell the inner diameter on most of the bearings I received don't protrude far enough out so the nuts/bolt head/spacers are rubbing against the bearing. I notice the one bearing that was smoother (left) than the rest was a different style. The inner ring hangs out a hair more so no rubbing.  |

Maybe it sticks out farther on one side. Theoretically, it shouldn't matter but if it's causing the shield to clamp on to the balls themselves, That could be an issue. Though I've never seen any like that. How did you put the wheels together? |

I placed one bearing in (pressing it flat against a board to get it in even), then I put the bolt through, then the washer, pushed the other bearing in while lined up with the bolt. I am trying to think of a good way to dismantle one since I put them all together at the same time. This will be fun if for some reason one side is actually different then the other, however, the font for the 625RS inscribed on the bearing is different. Leads me to believe that one is the anomaly, but I will attempt to pry one apart.

Get some sockets and start pressing it apart. A washer is an easy thing to miss.

Did you get this worked out?

We sent a few more V wheels to replace those that were questionable. He may be waiting for them to come in.
